Li Rusong is a smart person, so I don't have to say more, he also understands it. I explained a little, and the old man immediately realized, but under the cover of his happy expression, his heart was turbulent.

His family lives in the northeast and knows very well the power of the Japanese invaders, especially when he received the news from the front this time, the regular army of the Dongying Japanese Invaders has reached nearly 400,000, and there are more than 100,000 back reinforcements.

There was one thing he pressed in his heart, something that only he knew in this tent, which he pressed deeply, deeply in his heart, and never mentioned a word!

When he learned that the number of Dongying Japanese Kou had reached nearly 500,000, and he only had 60,000 soldiers and horses, and that the imperial court had only arranged a small number of reinforcements and naval troops to support, the Li family led by Li Chengliang gathered together and held a top-secret family meeting overnight.

There were two topics at the meeting - first, did the imperial court want to use this matter to attack the Li family?

Second, do you obey the order to fight, or disobey the order and rebel!

The Li family was fiercely debated, and without Li Chengliang speaking, his sons were divided into two very different factions.

Among the nine sons, Rusong, Ruzhen, Ruzhang, Rumei, and Ruzi resolutely agreed to go to Goryeo, believing that this was a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, which could further consolidate the position of the Li family in the northeast and block the tongues of critics in the imperial court.

However, the four sons of Rubai, Ruwu, Rugui, and Runan did not agree with this proposal, believing that this was a method for people who were resentful and jealous of the Li family in the court to kill people with knives, and if they obeyed their orders to send troops, it would only make the Li family become the plaything of those behind the scenes, and be wiped out in the long river of history by the torrent of Dongying Wokou.

The two sides were at a stalemate, Li Chengliang held the holy decree in his hand, and when all his sons looked at him, he suddenly asked the next question: If you resist the decree, what should you do next?

The nine sons were silent. If you openly do the opposite, there is absolutely no way back, but what to do next is indeed a difficult problem.

At this time, Li Rubai, the second son who is known for his resourcefulness, suddenly said: "Father, I have an idea. ”

Li Chengliang looked at him with squinted eyes and didn't answer for a long time. When Li Rubai was confused, Li Chengliang suddenly spoke: "Bai'er wants to join forces with the north? ”

Li Rubai nodded, and arched his hand at Li Chengliang: "Exactly!" Father. Now although Daming is terminally ill, his bones are still hard, and if our Li family is a corner of the enemy of the whole country, it will definitely be defeated. Only by forming an alliance to the north can we protect our homeland! ”

Li Chengliang was silent for a moment again, and suddenly asked again: "If the Ming Dynasty raises troops to attack, what should I do?" ”

This time, it was the eldest son Li Rusong who answered: "Da Ming will not be so unwise!" Our Li family has been operating in the Northeast for decades, and it has been like an iron plate, even if the Ming Dynasty is attacking with a large army, it is not possible to go to the Northeast in a hurry. Besides, ......"

Li Rusong glanced at his father, saw that his expression was as usual, and knew that he was under the military affairs, and he did not hold a grudge for the ugliness of the seventh aunt back then, so he continued: "Nurhachi has occupied most of the land between the white mountains and black waters, and the Jianzhou Jurchens have faintly formed a trend of unifying the Jurchen tribes. Besides, the wilderness outside the gate is thousands of miles, and it is always bad, and we can also retreat into the snowfield, and the Ming Dynasty has no way. ”

Li Rubai also agreed with this statement, so the brothers looked at Li Chengliang again.

The head of the Li family's family was silent for the third time. He wondered which of his gains and losses was more valuable. After a long time, he frowned and said, "I heard that the kid from the Sun family is back again?" And brought a large number of warships and arms? ”

The answer to this sentence was the fifth son Li Rumei, the young general who had a relationship with me back then and is now in charge of the Li family's intelligence, replied: "Exactly! Father, according to the official report we got from the Beijing Division, Sun Qilan led a large number of fleets to return, and its overall strength was no less than the sum of the strength of a naval army. And it is speculated that the strength he showed is only a part, and not all of his strength is hanging on the table. ”

Li Chengliang raised his head with interest, and his entire forehead wrinkled together when he laughed: "Talk about your opinions." ”

Li Rusong groaned: "Although Sun Qilan is young, he is extremely resourceful, and this time he led the army back, and it is clear that he is here for King Qin." If his naval army is really as powerful as rumored, then it can really be said that it can be attacked, retreated and defended, if our Li family hurriedly raises troops to rebel, I am worried that he will suddenly kill and attack our rear. ”

Li Rubai added: "Xiang Wen Sun Qilan has a very deep relationship with the Dongying Wako, if he suddenly allied with the Dongying people and sacrificed Goryeo, the two sides were caught off guard by killing us, then the major event would be over." ”

Li Chengliang muttered: "This son is indeed extraordinary, but is there really such a strong threat? In other words, what do you mean...... Don't be in a hurry to rebel first, but go to Goryeo first along the court, and then plan and then move? ”

Without waiting for his sons to answer, Li Chengliang continued: "My Li family has been loyal to the country for decades, if there is no way to retreat, I will never want to ruin the reputation of a lifetime!" Why don't you leave it at that? Such as pine! ”

The eldest son, Li Rusong, immediately stood up, Li Chengliang stared at him and said in a low voice: "You just work hard, lead 40,000 soldiers to Goryeo, and observe Sun Qilan's intentions by the way." If he really devotes himself to the country and assists me in breaking the enemy with all his might, he can help him. What if he had other thoughts...... You have to do everything! ”

A cold light flashed in Li Rusong's eyes, and he was ordered to sit down.

"Rubai!" Li Chengliang called again. The second son, Li Rubai, immediately stood up, looked at Li Chengliang and arched his hand and said, "The child is here!" ”

Li Chengliang instructed again: "You go to Changbai Mountain, and when you see that person, you will say that you are fully prepared, if the front line is not good, or there are other unknown circumstances, you must leave a way back!" ”

Li Rubai accepted the order.

Then, Li Chengliang arranged several different tasks for the children, thought about it again and again, and did not miss anything else, before the meeting was dismissed and each went to prepare.

Li Rusong came back to his senses, looking at me still blowing tea there slightly, and did not mean to urge him to speak, his heart was awe-inspiring, and his back was soaked in cold sweat!

Why is this young man so calm? At the moment of the great enemy, the situation is unclear, is his courage really so sufficient? Was he really completely confident in his plan?

Li Rusong couldn't help but think of everything I just said again, and there was even an indescribable feeling in his heart, taste it carefully, that feeling should be - chilling!

After all, we are facing an army of nearly half a million people, and in the eyes of the young man in front of us, they have already been divided into pieces!

With such courage and such resourcefulness, how could he not see through his Li family's yang and yin?

Just when he was slightly stunned and his eyes were scattered, I smiled secretly in my heart, put down the teacup slightly, and the sound of "bang" startled Li Rusong, and immediately turned his face to me with some nervousness, I don't know what I want to say, or he didn't hear what he said, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes.

I smiled and said: "Li Shuai, Sun Tzu said: Whoever governs the crowd is like governing the widow, and the score is also; Fighting the crowd is like fighting widows, and the name is also; The crowd of the three armies can make those who are bound to be defeated by the enemy and not defeated, and it is strange and true; The addition of soldiers, such as those who throw eggs with stones, is also virtual and real. Those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory. Therefore, those who are good and surprising are as infinite as heaven and earth, and inexhaustible as rivers and seas. I don't know if it's yes or no? ”

Li Rusong listened to me recite a classic, nodded inexplicably: "Exactly!" ”

I continued to laugh and say, "So, the conspiracy should be attached to the main battle. The combination of odd is a miracle effect. Now the troops of the East and West are trapped in the city of Uiju, and the East Army is eyeing the northwest of Pyongyang. Therefore, the top priority is to achieve a big victory in Uiju! With a head-on victory, there is room for the conspiracy behind it! ”

After Li Rusong understood what I meant, he pondered for a moment and said to me: "What Governor Sun said is very true, the number of troops outside the city of Yizhou is about 30,000, most of them are infantry, with a small number of cavalry and birds. If our army attacks suddenly, it is possible to win a complete victory! It's just that how to connect the conspiracy and the main battle that the governor said is a real problem. ”

I knew in my heart that he was afraid that I would release his pigeons. instigated him to go and fight the enemy, but he slapped his ass and slipped away. So I smiled faintly and said, "Li Shuai, do you know, why did I come back thousands of miles this time?" ”

Li Rusong arched his hand to me and said: "Sun Du is the king of Wanliqin, which is admirable. ”

I snorted lightly: "If Sun is greedy for life and afraid of death, or if he has other plans, he just needs to stay in the West and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and he doesn't have to come back to take this risk, yes or no?" ”

Li Rusong looked ashamed: "Exactly! In this case, the frontal battle is fully entrusted to me! I will lead the army to raise troops at the third watch today, cross the river at the narrow place near the river, and go north to Uiju, attacking the enemy along the way! Please ask Sun Dudu for the conspiracy, and I hope that we will cooperate sincerely and hope for victory! ”

I laughed twice and said, "Li Shuai rest assured, Sun is not talented, but he is ten percent sure that this matter will be done!" You just have to rest assured to rush and kill, and remember what I said, when the smoke and dust in the east rise, it is a signal to retreat. No matter how favorable the battle situation is, it is necessary to withdraw troops in time, remember! Remember! ”

Li Rusong nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, life and death are important matters, and Li will not underestimate them." Then let's say goodbye, wait for the victory in Yiju, and then gather in the city to celebrate! Come on! Bring the wine! ”

Immediately, a sergeant came in with a jar of wine, and the man who followed him handed over two bowls.

The former slapped open the mud seal of the wine jar, poured two bowls of "tons and tons", and the aroma of wine wafted in, which turned out to be the best official sauce wine.

One of us picked up a bowl, touched it heavily, and drank it with our heads up!

casually slammed the bowl to the ground, and smashed it twice with a "pop"!

I arched my hand at Li Rusong and said, "Treasure!" Then he turned and strode away.

Li Rusong replied with his hand "cherished", but his eyes kept following my back until he could no longer see it.

"You say, did he see it?" Li Rusong suddenly asked at the empty tent.

"Whether you can see it or not, there is no difference." A voice suddenly replied. Then a figure turned out from behind the standing weapon armor rack, it was none other than Li Chengliang's fifth son, Li Rumei.

Li Rusong asked without replying, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Rumei looked at the direction I was going and said, "I haven't seen this son for many years, and my heart is as deep as the sea." His vision is no longer in the Great Ming Realm, but between the four seas. Therefore, it doesn't matter what our Li family thinks, as long as we try our best to defeat the enemy, it will be in line with his wishes. ”

Li Rusong frowned and asked, "You mean, he doesn't care if we have any objections in our hearts?" Why? ”

Li Rumei smiled faintly and said: "Because he is not a loyal minister and a good general of the Ming Dynasty, but an orphan of Zhang Jiangling's Jizhi!" ”

The big tent was quiet again, and the north wind blew outside the tent, and the flags were hula-la-la, just like the mood of the two people in the tent, it was difficult to calm down for a long time......
